Promo Post Tomorrow

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Sorry. We have people over today and tomorrow and the day ran away from me. I meant to do this very early morning, but my body decided this was a good time to be sick as a dog.

So–

Promo post tomorrow. I’ll go to bed early (we have people leaving early, anyway) and hopefully will be more functional.

  4. If you ever do get back to the post about “Green Man of Graypec” it turned out I DID own a copy, and I read it. First fiction I’ve read in months, so my impressions may be colored by the long story drought.

  5. Morning Sickness? … snicker

    Maybe it’s sympathetic morning sickness, you do have newlyweds about.

    Reaches into hat (ASS) pulls out a card, “It was Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with a Pipe” No doubt about it I need another hat.

    1. No, not just you. $OLDER_BROTHER was outlasting his welcome, and the encouragement to leave “tomorrow” was somewhat less than subtle. (Mom and his SO, fine. He’s a relative, doesn’t have to be a friend…)

  9. Hey, if you want something to make you smile…

    Big Boy, Union Pacific steam train engine, is almost always run at barely above at idle power. It was designed to pull a 5-mile-long train, and it only hauls a few cars on its tours.

    But in July 2023, as it was on its way from one way to another, it diverted to push a stalled 10,000 foot, 11 ton freight freight train. The last time it hauled freight before that was 1959.

    So when you’re trying to get back in groove – you’re not alone.

      1. Pretty sure that’s an emergency engine for just in case something happens to the Big Boy. You wouldn’t want to leave that sucker blocking the tracks if it broke down.

      2. Yep, they run Big Boy with a diesel to stretch supplies on the long stretches between restock (as there are no longer water tanks every 10-15 miles), and save wear and tear (seeing as the brakes and other parts are no longer in stock.)

        1. That would explain why they run the Big Boy at an idle most of the time. Just enough to keep the lines clear and linkages lubed, but as little stress on the machinery as possible.

    2. They used to have one on display in Omaha Ne. down by the new stadium the CWS is held at. CWS used to be a fun experience, now it’s just another commercial enterprise. Life goes on.

  10. I keep trying to find a knot that days can’t untie; they do keep running away.

    Already watching this one disappear over the horizon…

    (Is it my personality??? Not feeding them enough coffee??? What???)

        1. I still like the variant version, where Alexander just took the chariot apart and thus released the knot.

          I mean, the sword has style and symbolism, but Alexander was also smart. I want to think that he solved the puzzle, not just broke through it.
